Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips, separated
- ¼ cup (43 g) non-marking chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Line an 8×8 inch dish with parchment paper, allowing edges to overhang for effortless removal.
- Mixing Base: Blend peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until silky smooth, gradually folding in powdered sugar to form a dense, malleable mixture.
- Forming Layer: Evenly press the consolidated mixture into the lined pan, creating a uniform base, then chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to solidify.
- Shaping Bars: Extract the pan from the freezer and slice the chilled mixture into precise rectangular segments using a sharp knife.
- Decorative Coating: Carefully melt white chocolate in short microwave intervals, stirring between each to prevent scorching, then artfully drizzle over bars in intricate bandage-like patterns.
- Mummy Details: Embellish the bars with miniature chocolate chips or playful candy eyes to craft whimsical facial features.
- Final Setting: Return the decorated bars to the refrigerator for a brief 10-minute interval to ensure the chocolate sets completely, then extract using parchment paper edges and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chill for Perfection: Freezing the base helps create a firm, sturdy foundation that prevents crumbling and makes slicing easier.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use short, 15-second microwave intervals and stir between each to avoid burning white chocolate, ensuring smooth drizzling.
- Customize Creatively: Swap chocolate chips for candy eyes or use different decorative elements to personalize the mummy theme and make each bar unique.
- Storage Smart: Keep bars refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days, maintaining their texture and preventing chocolate from melting.
